Actor Dominic Purcell has revealed a substantial new tattoo on his back, dedicated to the Sydney suburb of Penrith where he grew up. The artwork features the word 'RIFF' in large lettering.
Purcell, 56, shared an image of the tattoo on Instagram, explaining its significance in the comments. "Them that know. Penrith. The RIFF. NSW AUSTRALIA. 70's - 80's. Always proud of what made me," he wrote. His wife, Tish Cyrus, responded to the post, stating, "Obsessed," and adding a fire emoji.
The actor, known for his role as Lincoln Burrows in the Fox drama 'Prison Break,' was born in England in 1970 and moved to Australia at the age of two. He married Tish Cyrus, mother of singer Miley Cyrus, in 2023.
Purcell has recently drawn attention for a notable shift in his appearance, embracing a more rugged look with a thick white beard and a more relaxed physique, a departure from the clean-cut image from his early career. His wife Tish had previously commented on his transformed appearance, jokingly posting, "I have no idea who this is?!? Bring my husband back."
Purcell has four children from a previous marriage: son Joe, 25, daughter Audrey, 24, and twins Lily-Rose and Augustus, both 22. His marriage to Tish Cyrus in 2023 added four American step-siblings to his family, including Miley Cyrus.
The couple announced their engagement in April 2023, with Tish sharing photos that highlighted her diamond engagement ring. They married in an intimate ceremony in Malibu, California, four months after the engagement announcement.
